Khayang Waterfalls
Sub Place Details: The Khayang Waterfalls, also locally known as Telly Waterfalls, is recognized as the tallest waterfall in the state of Manipur, standing at a staggering height of approximately 754 feet. Nestled deep within the dense, emerald forests of the Ukhrul district, this natural wonder rem ains one of the most pristine and untouched sites in Northeast India due to its remote location near the international border. The water cascades down a series of rugged rocky tiers, creating a misty atmosphere that sustains a rich micro-ecosystem of rare mosses and ferns. Reaching this site is an adventure in itself, requiring a multi-day trek through virgin jungles and crossing crystal-clear mountain streams. The sheer volume of water during the monsoon season creates a thunderous roar that can be heard from miles away, making it a symbol of nature's raw power. Despite its lack of commercial development, it offers a soul-stirring experience for those seeking a true escape from civilization.
